Shanahan Calls out Leafs Players, Wisniewski Suspended for 8 Games

As the Columbus Blue Jackets prepare to face the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight in Toronto, Brendan Shanahan, the President of Hockey Operations for the Leafs called out his players in the wake of the firing of Coach Randy Carlyle.

Quoth Shanny: The onus is on the players now. The coach is gone. We have been evaluating them, and we will continue to evaluate them. In order to let the players know that we are extremely serious about this, I have decided to suspend James Wisniewski for eight games. This has worked well for me in the past, and it seems a good way to let the Leafs players know that I am not taking prisoners here. No one can evade my reach!!
